Test-first yields analysis, it helps us determine what is clear, what is unclear or missing, and ferrets out misunderstandings. Unit tests are unforgiving, they don’t let you get away with anything. But Test-Driven Development also creates better design. Bad design is hard to test, and so moving tests into a primary position reveals the pain … Continue reading "Test-Driven Development is not Merely “Test-First”".

TDD is an Agile Development technique in which developers write test cases before writing the corresponding code for the user story assigned to him. Once the code passes the Acceptance test, the code is then refactored /simplified to be used as production code.

Back in the day I used to say this about test-driven development: If ever I get a surprise, it means I have a missing test. That is, if I’m in the GREEN or REFACTOR step of the TDD cycle and my changes make something else break, I need to add a test to document something that I must have missed previously. I’ve discovered some refactoring that needs to be done, and I wouldn’t necessarily rush to add tests.
